In some fanfictions, Draco and Severus might be portrayed as hurting Harry for various reasons. It could be due to the long - standing rivalry between Draco and Harry, with Draco's family's pure - blood ideology fueling his actions. Severus, on the other hand, has a complex relationship with Harry. His actions that seem to 'hurt' Harry could be misinterpreted. For example, his strictness in Potions class might be seen as a form of harm, but it could also be his way of trying to protect Harry in a convoluted way.
One possibility is that Harry discovers some dark secret about Severus that makes him feel he can no longer stay in the same place as him. For example, if he finds out Severus had a hand in some past event that endangered his friends. So he decides to leave to protect himself and those he cares about.
In this type of fanfiction, it's a very interesting and often controversial concept. The idea of Severus and Harry in such a situation defies the original canon in many ways. However, it can be a creative exploration of their relationship. It might involve exploring how their personalities, which are so different in the original stories, would interact in this new, unexpected scenario.
I'm not a big fan of this sort of fanfiction concept as it goes against the original relationships in the Harry Potter series. However, in the vast world of fanfiction, there might be such works out there. You can try searching on popular fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own (AO3) or Fanfiction.net.
They might hurt Harry physically in some fanfictions. For example, in a fight scene where Draco uses dark magic he's not supposed to and Severus doesn't stop him in time. Another way could be emotionally. Draco could spread false rumors about Harry, which Severus, as a teacher, fails to address properly, leading to Harry's isolation and emotional distress.
Yes, there are some out there. You can try searching on fanfiction - specific websites like Archive of Our Own. Just be sure to read the tags and summaries carefully to find one that suits your taste.
In this scenario, Severus' character experiences a significant transformation. He has to shed his cold exterior to a large extent. He becomes a father figure, which means he has to be there for the boys emotionally. He starts to show emotions more openly, whether it's pride when they do well in their studies or worry when they are in danger. His sense of loyalty also shifts. Before, it was mainly towards certain people or causes, but now his loyalty is first and foremost to Harry and Draco. This new - found loyalty makes him a more rounded and likable character in the fanfiction, as he is no longer just the brooding potions master but a loving and dedicated father.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Draco and Severus leave Harry because they are forced to by some external dark force. This could lead to Harry having to face new challenges alone, while Draco and Severus struggle against this force in their own way. They could end up being spies or trying to find a way to defeat the dark power from afar.
One common theme is the exploration of unexpected relationships. It challenges the traditional enmities between the characters in the original series. Another theme could be the struggle against the wizarding society's norms.
